This is a story about a cat and a girl who move to the city. The cat's name is Puss and the girl's name is Jenni. Puss gets lost and Jenni has to find him. The chapters alternate between Puss and Jenni's points of view. I like the fact that you can read what Puss is thinking. This is one of my favorite books that I have ever read.

Young Puss is a country cat, and has been all his life. He adores small-town living, as he knows all the animals who surround him, and has his own very territories. That's why he's shocked when his owner, Jenni, moves him to a city filled with traffic, and unfriendly people. Puss quickly decides that this isn't the life for him, and heads towards home. However, unbeknownst to Puss, home is over 100 miles away, and might never be found by a small cat. When Jenni realizes that her beloved Puss - short for Puss in Boots, thanks to his all black body, and white feet - she becomes frantic and begins her search for him. While at the same time, Puss realizes how much he misses Jenni, and frantically tries to find his way back to his new home in the city. Throughout it all, Jenni meets many city-dwellers, who try to help her find Puss, and realizes that maybe the city isn't that bad after all.

Being a cat lover, and a fan of touching Christmas stories, I was happy to find both elements in Sylvia Green's THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER. Puss is a determined young cat who triumphs over the tragedy of getting himself lost. Jenni is a kind young girl who wants nothing but Puss back as her Christmas gift. Together they create quite a duo. With fabulous supporting characters who bring the story even more to life, THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER is essential holiday reading.

I have lot of Indian books but this one is the best by far. Its very authentic but the recipes are not very difficult. Some are time consuming but this book has pictures for every recipe and its very easy to follow. It also has a spiral binding so it lays flat which makes it easy to read while you are cooking. I don't know why this book hasn't received more press because its not only my favorite Indian cookbook its my favorite cookbook. Every recipe I have tried from this book is great.

When my friends presented us with this book, being Indians we wondered how good it would be. But this book has simple recipes in Indian cooking that turn up the most delicious meals that we have ever had. If you want to own one book on Indian cooking, this book is it.

I think all enthusiasts of Grant Green should be grateful to Wolf Marshall for this product. GG's technique and musicality deserve great study and admiration. Thanks to Wolf Marshall's guide more and more people will be able to give it just that. The transcriptions are faultlessly accurate and the choice of tracks is excellent.

Wolf has yet to dissapoint me with his transcriptions and this is no exception. Grant, one of the best guitarists in history IMHO, is woefully under represented in the music book industry. I think he's had 2 songs transcirbed for guitar magazine, and this book are IT. And I think that's a crime. Especially considering Grant was Wes's main competition and that a huge chunk of the Blue note catalog has Grants name on it. Thanks Wolf, for bringing this sorely needed information to us.

This book has a similar philosophy and arrangement by cultural conditions as Penelope Hobhouse's Natural Planting. While Hobhouse looks to gardens around the (temperate, Western) world, this book is all based on Beth Chatto's garden. But that's enough, as these are the large and varied display gardens at her retail and commercial nursery. The gardens are set in Essex, an area of England with harsher conditions (drier year-round, with a cold winter) than most of the country, and thus more like that of much of North America. While the book doesn't have a big alphabetical plant reference in the back, Chatto does have a few pages on each of many of her favorite genera. All of Chatto's books are worth purchasing if they match your local conditions (e.g., The Damp Garden, The Dry Garden).

Unlike many gardening books, this book assumes a solid knowledge of gardening and has chapters on various types of gardens(shade, dry, open walks etc.). I appreciate that that many of the plants are less well-known, making the AHS Encyclopedia a good book to keep nearby while you read this. Has some great ideas for both plant and design choices.

As an elementary counselor, I've been looking for a resource to introduce young children to the concept of "boundaries." This is perfect! Children will love the dinosaur characters and every child everywhere will be able to relate to the dilemma Buddy Rocks finds himself in with Tyrant Rex! Rex wrecks things wherever he goes, and when he comes over to play in Buddy's room, Buddy doesn't have the courage to stand up to him and speak his mind. After his things get destroyed, he goes to his mom for help. She encourages him to "set a boundary." Buddy does, and finds he not only develops a safer relationship with Rex, but he likes himself better, too!

The book is an effective tool for use with bullies (and anyone who may carelessly trample on the rights and feelings of others) and VICTIMS, AS WELL.

I would like to see the author write a second book geared toward middle and upper elementary. This book would deal with the trickier concept of setting a boundary with a friend who is TOO NICE, or possessive.

This book is wonderful to help kids learn positive ways to deal with conflict. When Buddy the dinosaur's friend Rex continues to "wreck" everything Buddy learns to set a boundary. He tells Rex that this is not OK, but that he wants to be friends if Rex can respect his stuff. I'm using this book this summer with a group of kids with emotional and physical needs to help teach them to stand up for themselves and also teach respect and a bit of diplomacy. It is a shame this is out of print.

Covering developments between 1890 and 1980, Green's book is the best place to begin to understand the appropriation of public space by gay male Brazilians. Besides seeming to have read everything written by or about male homosexuality in Brazil (his book's apparatus occupies more than a hundred pages), including archived forensic and psychiatric case records, Green draws on seventy life history interviews and a cache of illustrations from across the twentieth century.

Green shows that the gap between representation of rigid (masculine-active) bofe and (feminine-passive and frequently transvestite) bicha roles and how Brazilian males lived their sexualities increased during 1960s, and subsequently has been challenged in public discourse, but that behavior and purportedly universal norms were already noncongruent during the 1930s. Besides cataloging a history of growing bicha pride and steady bofe bashful ambivalence, Green also shows that bicha prominence in carnival is a tradition that is relatively recent, emerging during the 1950s, and suppressed for a few years at the beginning of the 1970s.

Green sensibly stresses the emergence during the 1950s and 60s of first bicha and then gay publications. The American homophile movement then also involved only a few determined individuals and fugitive publications. Rio's famed beaches have been important as places where men of varying economic status who are sexually interested in men meet - and socialize, and develop group consciousness, as well as engineering sexual liaisons. Brazilian gay clubs, bars, and restaurants cluster near beaches with gay enclaves.

It's indeed the most important register on brazilian homosexuality ever done. Green is a genius and this book must be read not only by homosexuals, but all kind of people that would like to understand a little about the gay subculture in Brazil. The author is brilliant and deserves our respect.

This album is an excellent intro to the Stones as they were at their beginning.
A mix of blues, rock and R&B music. Plus the Rock No.1 song of all times: listen carefully to Satisfaction; it is the Beethoven 5th of the Rock era.

It explains why the Beatles were the Pop band by excellence and the Stones the best Rock & Roll and R&B band.
If the listener like this album, the next ones should be: Out Of Their Heads and December's Children

This album was a compilation of the Rolling stones top 40 hits that you could hear on AM radio. Every EARLY work of theirs that crossed the AM air waves in the 60's ( 11 ) is here. This is a real collectible for any Stones fan. The next hits collection would be, "Through The Past Darkly". The list of songs is already at the top of this page. So rather than bore you as some critics do I'll just say to buy and enjoy it as their are NO BAD SONGS on this onefor a Stones fan.

I love the arrangements in this books. They are not your "run of the mill" Christmas carols. Some are jazzy and others are soft and sweet. The book is marked medium difficulty and I would say that's about right. Some I could sight-read but many would take a bit of work. There are a lot of key changes within each piece. I particularly like In the Bleak Mid-winter, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, which is a jazzed up version, Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming and Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus to name just a few. The only thing I don't like about the book is that it won't stay open. No matter how hard you crease the pages it still ends up trying to close while you're playing the song. But, in spite of that, it's a great book and I would still buy it.

Finally, a nice Christmas music book filled with lovely arrangements that are on the intermediate level! The description of this book was spot on. The arrangements are challenging and not boring or too simple. Plus they are nice melodies...not oddly constructed arrangements that have discordant notes and such. Glad to have it in my repertoire!

This is for the advanced Iguana owner, or someone who wants to become advanced. Basically this book is a series of scientific studies collected in one book, along with information on diagnosing various Iguana diseases and injury. There are color plates showing how to operate on Iguanas for vets. Basically this is a vet textbook, but anyone with a slight background in anatomy, or a pocket medical dictionary, should be able to read this book easily and find it informative. If you want to feel a bit more empowered and be able to discuss Ig problems with your vet, this is a good book.

If not, buy Iguanas for Dummies and James Hatfields Green Iguana book. I have all 3 plus "Understanding Reptile Parasites" by Roger J. Klingenberg, which is unfortunately not available from Amazon.

Compiled and edited by Elliot R. Jacobson, Biology, Husbandry, And Medicine Of The Green Iguana is a scholarly and detailed referenced packed from cover to cover with virtually everything there is to know about this remarkable reptile. An extensive college-level study, illustrated with an inset selection of color plates, Biology, Husbandry, And Medicine Of The Green Iguana is a welcome contribution to zoology reference shelves and a fascinating resource for iguana enthusiasts to simply read through.

This is a marvelous coloring book. Thirty five birds are sketched in considerable detail, including appropriate backgrounds. In addition, each page includes detailed information about the bird. And the cover includes a photo of each page appropriately colored for your reference. As a reference tool for painters, as an educational tool for children, or simply for pleasure, this is one book I would highly recommend.

I use these coloring books as out lines and ideas for craft projects and for that they are perfect. However they might be too detailed for younger children to color.
